That's interesting. I am not using MoreSCF, but rather our own C++
classes. The ID's I believe are simply created by the SystemConfiguration
APIs. Indeed I was surprised to see what appears to essentially be UUIDs
instead of the usual just increment to the next value.
This appears to be a change somewhere between 10.1.5 and 10.2.3.
I have also discovered that indeed this IDs donot work even for an admin
account.
This seems like a serious bug. Is there a way to control the IDs that get
selected for individual items (like sets)?
